I’ve been to a DIY (Do It Yoursef) hardware store only once, to buy ropes for a team building seminar I conducted. I know a lot of people in the States do a lot of home repairs and stuff themselves, like my sister together with her husband painted their own house. Some make their own furnitures and replaces stuff around the house by themselves, unlike here in the Philippines, where its cheap and easy to get handyman help. If for example my refrigerator gets busted and a part like the 4396841 needs replacement, a plumber or technician can be called in cheap to buy buy and install it.
